The best part of my whole time travelling!

My time with Iguana Abroad was my first time in Latin America and part of a longer trip (visited Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas after Iguana Abroad and later went to Peru). This course has left me with so many beautiful memories, and located in one of the best places I saw on my whole trip. Cuernavaca, the location for the course is just so beautiful and somewhere I will definitely return to. To give you an idea, there is an amazing secret waterfall a short walk away from the city center that the course directors showed our group, also a park with a crystal clear river and a little lake with boats you can rent plus lots of other amazing parks around the city as well, and just really amazing trees and plants everywhere. And it is a beautiful city anyway. There is one of the oldest cathedrals in Mexico there, a palace in the city center, really amazing restaurants and cafes - even an ancient pyramid actually in the city! It was definitely important though to be on the course I would say as it was the directors who gave all the suggestions of the best places to go, and showed us around so well. Without them I wouldn’t have been so amazed by the city I don’t think. For example giving us WhatsApp groups to join where activities, events, workshops and those sort of thing are being shared. It was just really quick and easy to settle in and feel like I knew the city really well straight away. The accommodation (the private option one) was beautiful too with lots of amazing nature as well. There were tropical plants, banana trees, hammocks and a swimming pool there so was just super nice to hang out at. It was also really important to learn Spanish quickly before being on my own for the rest of my trip and the course helped me so much with my Spanish. I’m still not fluent but I started Iguana Abroad and my trip knowing almost nothing but ended the course feeling like I could ask for whatever I wanted and understand what people were saying to me a lot of the time. In just 4 weeks for me that was really amazing. I would highly recommend this course and I would love to return at some point in the future.
